Can You Beat Ace King High?






-- Status Update --
2009 VPPs:  853,109
SNE Pace:  116,049 AHEAD
Currently Playing:  Black Sigil: Blade of the Exalted (DS)


Weekend poker was pretty lame, but not entirely so. I had what has to be the biggest pot I've ever won without making a pair which I'll post below. I also started playing Black Sigil for the DS, which got some pretty lackluster reviews and considering I have multiple games backlogged to play, is a surprising choice for my time. I guess I'm just feeling like something old school, and it definitely brings the SNES feel despite being a brand new game.
